As Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed into the laboratory, he saw the masked Obito reaching for the masks on the wall.
He immediately took out a shuriken and threw it, simultaneously forming hand seals.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu.
The single shuriken rapidly multiplied into dozens, raining down like a torrential storm.
The sound of whistling air rushed past his ears. But Obito remained expressionless, continuing to reach forward.
The moment the shuriken hit him, they passed right through. As if he didn't exist.
Zenshu?
He's indeed a troublesome person. I absolutely cannot let something that strengthens Jinchuriki exist.
As this thought flashed through his mind, a crisp sound rang out.
Crack.
The cultivation pod behind him was pierced by two shuriken, creating two holes from which nutrient fluid poured out.
The embryo inside seemed disturbed. Its eyes suddenly snapped open.
At this moment, a heavy aura erupted.
The infant-like embryo opened its eyes, revealing pitch-black pupils.
It immediately saw Obito reaching for the wall. Hiruzen forming hand seals to attack from behind.
As well as Danzo Shimura, who had just rushed in from the cave entrance.
Invisible fluctuations radiated from its body, instantly forming a spherical barrier that enveloped it entirely.
"Ah!"
A piercing roar came from the embryo's mouth.
The invisible fluctuations erupted instantly, causing the surrounding air to distort with striped ripples.
The surrounding space immediately sank. Cracking sounds rang out.
Cracks appeared on the surrounding walls and the stone ceiling above.
Hiruzen and Danzo felt their bodies sink heavily. The latter even had to drop to his knees to support himself.
Obito caught this from the corner of his eye. His hand was already close to touching the masks on the wall.
Only a moment of hesitation flashed through his mind before he immediately took action.
But the next moment, an unexpectedly heavy force acted upon him.
BOOM.
He fell to his knees, smashing the ground to pieces. His hands supported his chest, punching two deep craters into the stone floor.
Only then did he stabilize his body.
His face was stiff and tense as he exerted all his strength to support himself. Looking up heavily at the cracked wall.
Too heavy. It's like every bone is carrying a boulder... No. I absolutely cannot let Konoha get these masks.
Obito gritted his teeth. His single Sharingan manifested the Mangekyo pattern of Kamui.
The wall sealing the masks completely shattered. The sealing power rapidly dissipated.
A distorted swirl began to form. The nine masks looked as if they were about to be sucked in.
Hiruzen—the only one still standing—adapted to the gravity in this brief moment.
Seeing this scene, he didn't hesitate at all. Rapidly completing his unfinished hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique.
Scorching flames erupted, lunging forward like a dragon's head.
At this critical moment, a rumbling sound rang out.
BOOM.
The ceiling instantly collapsed. Rubble and dirt poured down, directly burying the entire basement.
The last remaining power of the barrier also dissipated instantly.
Outside, the base of the entire small hill collapsed. A cloud of smoke and dust violently rose up.
This sudden scene caused the expressions of the ANBU and Root ninjas to change.
"What happened?"
"Hiashi, what happened inside?"
"Where is Lord Hokage? Is he alright?"
"There are enemies. There are four chakras below!" Hiashi Hyuga shouted loudly. His voice very urgent.
He assumed a stance, entering combat readiness.
A figure suddenly flew out from the smoke, immediately catching the attention of everyone present.
Within a translucent spherical barrier, the infant embryo glanced at the crowd below.
There was not the slightest ripple in its pitch-black pupils. That look wasn't like looking at other people.
It was as if looking at a pile of rocks.
And beside it, nine masks resembling evil spirits were bound by a layer of small barriers. Floating next to it.
"Stop him!"
Hiruzen's voice rang out.
BOOM.
A loud crash.
A pile of giant rubble was directly pushed open. Hiruzen, holding the Adamantine Staff, stood up with a fierce aura.
The giant staff in his hands extended, smashing toward the embryo infant while he shouted loudly.
"Snatch back those nine masks. Absolutely do not let him escape!"
As his voice fell, the ANBU and Root ninjas immediately sprang into action.
They all took out kunai and shuriken, executing the Chakra Enhancement Technique.
Swish. Swish. Swish.
The sound of piercing air rang out continuously.
These hidden weapons all possessed supersonic speed, arriving in front of the infant embryo in an instant.
The infant embryo looked at these incoming hidden weapons. Its insight pushed to the extreme, making the supersonic weapons appear as if crawling like turtles.
Its pupils constricted. It glared slightly.
A powerful repulsive force instantly erupted.
BOOM.
The incoming hidden weapons paused for an instant in mid-air. Then, under this force, rebounded with an even more tyrannical power.
They instantly pierced through all the ANBU and Root ninjas. In an instant, the sound of smoke popping and muffled groans rang out.
At least a third were injured by their own rebounded weapons. The rest were the sounds of various clone techniques popping.
A hint of disdain flashed in the infant embryo's eyes. The next moment, it was enveloped by a shadow.
The Adamantine Staff smashed down from the sky. As it approached the infant embryo, it emitted a deafening sound.
Distorted patterns appeared beneath the staff—as if it had struck patterns formed by translucent jelly.
The violent force caused the infant embryo to rapidly fall from the sky. Ultimately shedding all the force less than three meters from the ground.
The infant embryo's small face was tense. Baring its teeth at the Adamantine Staff less than half a meter away.
In this moment when its attention was diverted, a figure charged up.
As soon as Hiashi Hyuga approached, he felt an incomparably heavy force smash onto his body.
He gritted his teeth and tensed his entire body. Barely avoiding being flattened instantly.
Without time to think, Hiashi immediately executed the Revolving Heaven.
His body spun—primarily using his hands—and strong chakra erupted from all the tenketsu in his body.
An Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven domain over ten meters in diameter formed instantly. Its formidable power contended against the force field of the Reversal of Eight Directions.
Causing the air to distort and the space to kick up ripples.
The infant embryo glared over fiercely. But found its entire body stiff, unable to move.
A shadow on the ground was connected by a slender shadow. The other end connecting to Shikaku Nara.
Choza Akimichi stretched out his palm, making it incomparably huge, and grabbed the infant embryo's circular barrier.
Inoichi Yamanaka aimed at the infant embryo. He immediately formed hand seals and released the Mind Body Disturbance Technique.
But the next second, Inoichi's eyes were instantly covered in bloodshot lines. Intense pain erupted from his mind.
Fresh blood flowed from his eyes and nostrils. His body went limp. He stumbled back several steps, nearly falling to the ground.
At this time, an exceptionally swift shuriken broke through the force field of the Reversal of Eight Directions and hit the spherical barrier.
Clang.
A crisp sound rang out. The exceptionally fierce force drew the infant embryo's gaze.
A pair of Sharingan appeared before its eyes.
Shisui Uchiha stood on the tree canopy, activating his Sharingan Genjutsu.
"Get lost."
The hoarse roar of a tender child rang out. Although it was a roar without proper tone, its meaning echoed in everyone's minds.
